“Our program takes the results of comprehensive and complex data analytics and presents it to our claims staff in a clear and easy-to-understand format,” said Dufresne. “We believe that the human element is just as powerful as technology.

The workers’ compensation claims analytics program assesses both structured and unstructured data, from first notice of loss throughout the lifecycle of the claim. Not only does this data assist claims professionals in determining appropriate courses of action, it also provides key information that can lead to quantifiable savings for employers and their employees—reduced claims costs and treatment expenses, more efficient claims resolutions, and improved return-to-work timelines for injured employees.
